After breakfast at Cabanas, we head out to take the local land train (kon troll) for a one-hour sightseeing loop through the valley, complete with waterfalls, bridges and traditional Norwegian churches. With commentary from the driver, it’s the perfect relaxed excursion for those not booking official Disney tours. We share our honest thoughts on whether it’s worth the £30 per person cost and offer tips on accessibility, local alternatives to Disney excursions and how to make the most of short port days. Back in Olden town, we stop for souvenir shopping, mugs, hats, and pins before returning to the ship for lunch in Royal Court. Later, Gary heads to karaoke, singing songs like Be Our Guest, Hakuna Matata and Dance With My Father, while I relax with coffee and ice cream. We then take part in the Origami Workshop, order cookies and tea from room service and watch Encanto as the ship sails away from Norway. In the evening, it’s Pirate Night with a twist, featuring a Frozen-inspired menu at Royal Court with dishes like fried pierogies, carrot soup and roast chicken. After dinner, Gary meets Minnie Mouse and ends the night singing A Whole New World with Rhiannon at karaoke. The next morning, we arrive in Ålesund, Norway, a town famous for its art nouveau architecture. We follow the green footsteps into the city centre (though not the most reliable directions) and explore local shops, including the Harbour Gift Shop and Debbie’s Donuts for some of the softest doughnuts ever. From foggy fjord views to quirky street art and a quick stop at the lighthouse, we make the most of the chilly weather before heading back to the ship. Once back onboard, we enjoy lunch at Cabanas with a full buffet selection of soups, carvery, desserts and vegetarian options, before taking in the views from the upper decks. Gary meets Woody and Jessie in Andy’s Toy Room, where Gary shares queueing tips for adults hoping to meet them. As the sea gets rough again, we take the evening slow with cocktails, a Broadway-style cabaret performance from the actor who plays Jafar in Aladdin, and dinner in Animator’s Palate for Animation Magic night. We draw our own characters before enjoying the Malaysian chicken satay, chicken schnitzel and a custom curry menu made just for us by the kitchen team. The night ends with dessert, fibre-optic floors, and towel animals back in the stateroom, before we head out on deck in search of the Northern Lights.
